I have two drop-downs and one text box. I want to display multiplication of selected values from both the drop-downs.

I am trying to use change() function in jQuery. However change function is not firing. Even If i tried normal alert with it nothing happens.

C#

$('#container select').change(function () {
             alert(this).html();
        });

I am using IE6 and jquery-1.4.1.min.js

I am expecting that container select is the id of the dropdown in your code.

If it is so then remove the space between container and select and then try once

i don't know whether this works:

JavaScript

alert(this).html()

i mean check first simple alert such as:

JavaScript

alert('hello');

if it works then fine , otherwise
try:

JavaScript

$('#controlId').live('change', function (e) {
alert('Hello');
        });
});
